Cultivation Begins From The Desert

The Zhou family's finances are in trouble!

This was Zhou Yang's first reaction after listening to Zhou Xuanhe, the elder in charge of finance, report.

On the surface, the Zhou family's spirit stones have a lot of surplus every year, and more than 15,000 spirit stones have been saved in more than ten years, which looks very beautiful.

But in fact, counting the family contribution points issued by the Zhou family every year, you will find that the Zhou family's finances have actually entered a state of being unable to make ends meet.

If Zhou Yang hadn't figured out a way to use family contribution points instead of spirit stones as family welfare offerings, not only would there be no balance of spirit stones in the family account, but the spirit stones would be owed to the family monks!

But Zhou Yang also knows that no one can be blamed for this situation, because no one thought that the number of monks in the Zhou family would increase so much in just a few decades, let alone that monks would appear all at once during the foundation building period of the family. so much.

These foundation-building monks accounted for nearly one-third of those contribution points.

It can only be said that the current territory and industry of the Zhou family are no longer worthy of the current strength and status of the Zhou family, and cannot keep up with the growth rate of the Zhou family's population. Therefore, it is the Zhou family's responsibility to develop new industries and expand the family's territory. Down first priority.

Zhou Yang turned these thoughts in his mind, but looked at Zhou Xuanhe with an unchanged expression on his face, nodded and said: "I know the situation, Uncle Fourteen, please sit down first, I will ask some questions next, I hope you and All the clansmen can solve my doubts with your heart!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhou Xuanying, the new elder of the family's General Affairs Hall, and asked, "Thirteenth Aunt, your General Affairs Hall is in charge of distributing the family's missions. Whether the family monks go out to practice or guard a certain place, they will report to you when they come back. Experience, do you know how many monks in the family have experienced fighting with others in the past ten years? How many have experienced fighting with monsters of the same level? How many have successfully killed monks of the same level or High-level monsters?"

Zhou Xuanying didn't expect him to ask such a question, and was somewhat at a loss when he heard it.

But after all, she is also a person who has practiced for hundreds of years, and quickly suppressed the panic in her heart, and said in a calm voice: "I am not prepared for this matter, please ask the patriarch to allow me to review the information before answering."

"Then Thirteenth Aunt, please check the information first, I will ask other people first."

Zhou Yang nodded, but he didn't blame the aunt. After all, the Zhou family didn't pay too much attention to such things in the past. It can be checked.

So he turned his gaze, and then looked at Zhou Guangxiang, the leader of the younger generation of the Zhou family, and asked, "Guangxiang, you have been in charge of the Yuquan Building for several years. Let me ask you, how many things are sold in the Yuquan Building?" Is it consigned by the people of the tribe? What is the sales rate of these things?"

Maybe it's because he only manages one store, or maybe it's because the young people took power for the first time and did everything by themselves in order to do a good job. After Zhou Guangxiang heard Zhou Yang's question, he was taken aback for a moment, then stood up after a moment of pondering and said: " Patriarch Mingjian, my nephew is not sure about the exact number of pieces, but generally speaking, consigned items account for about 30% of the items in the store, and the items sold may be less than half of the total!"

"Very good, Guangxiang, you answered very well. Now you sit down too. I have another question for Uncle Fourteen."

Zhou Yang nodded in satisfaction, looked back at the Fourteenth Uncle Zhou Xuanhe, and asked in a deep voice: "Fourteenth Uncle, you reported the family's financial income and expenditure earlier, so let me ask you now, the family is currently apart from the three of us. Who are the top five people with the most contribution points besides the foundation-building monks? How many contribution points do they have?"

This question is relatively simple, or Zhou Xuanhe pays more attention to this area on weekdays, and immediately replied after hearing the words: "As for the patriarch, the family currently has five people with the most contribution points, namely the eighth brother-in-law with 5123 points, the eleventh brother 3785 points, 3350 points for the thirteenth sister, 2970 points for me, and 2360 points for the seventeenth brother."

Hearing this, Zhou Yang pondered for a while before continuing to ask: "The reason why Bagufu and him have so many contributions is because of his contributions. Except for the flame spider being rewarded with a thousand contribution points by the family, the rest of them can have so many contribution points, it should be because they have made a deal with the clansmen, right?"

"Yes, we all used the spirit stones we had accumulated before to exchange contribution points with some young clansmen, but I can assure you that we all traded fairly, and we never forced people to trade with us by relying on our power and status as elders!"

Zhou Xuanhe was afraid that Zhou Yang would misunderstand, so he emphasized the words "fair trade", and then looked at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan after speaking.

Although he is in charge of the family's finances, any transaction involving contribution points, even a little, must be approved by the patriarch, so Zhou Minghan knows all about these matters.

"The old man can prove this for Xuanhe and the others."

Zhou Minghan nodded slightly, and finally said the first sentence since entering the meeting hall.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang nodded. He didn't say anything else, but turned his gaze to Zhou Xuanying, the general affairs elder who had already read the records, and asked, "Then Thirteenth Aunt, have you finished the statistics?"

"As for the patriarch, I checked the information just now and found that in the past ten years, a total of five monks in the family have fought with others, and two of them have successfully killed the enemy."

"At the same time, in the past ten years, twelve members of the family have fought monsters, killing six second-level monsters and twenty-three first-level monsters. kill!"

Zhou Xuanying told each item of the information he had just consulted, and then looked at Zhou Yang with puzzled eyes, not understanding why he wanted to know these things.

Seeing her gaze, Zhou Yang couldn't help smiling slightly and said, "Thirteenth Aunt, Fourteenth Uncle and Eleventh Uncle, are you wondering why I suddenly asked these things at today's family meeting?"

"yes."

The few people who were named by him nodded in agreement, and then waited with bated breath for his answer.

"It's hard for me to explain the specific situation to you. I can only say that I have learned a lot from my travels this time, and I really understand how to make a family strong and united."

"I ask you these things because I want to analyze some of the information I want to know. Now I will explain the analysis, and all of you can take a look."

Zhou Yang glanced at everyone in the hall, and then said in a low tone: "From the number of times the family monks killed monsters and fought with people, we can know that the monks in the family seldom go out to hunt monsters or travel to the world of cultivating immortals on their own initiative. , from the number of treasures consigned by the clansmen in the Yuquan Tower, we can know that the savings in the hands of the monks in the clan are not very rich."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to those "Yuan" generation monks and "Guang" generation monks who were born after the Zhou family implemented the contribution point system and asked: "I dare say, if you remove the family contribution points issued by the family, you The monks at the early stage and mid-stage of Qi training probably don’t even have a hundred spirit stones in their pockets?”

Hearing his words, the younger monks looked at each other, but no one dared to answer.

In the end, Zhou Guangxiang, a representative of the younger generation, got up and said, "I can confirm this for the patriarch. Even if it is my younger sister, Xiang'er, she definitely does not have more than one hundred spirit stones in her storage bag now!"

"now it's right!"

Zhou Yang nodded, waved his hand to signal Zhou Guangxiang to sit down, then looked at everyone with piercing eyes and said, "Because of the particularity of the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, and the lack of enough high-level monks in the previous clan, the number of clan members There are not many, so the family rule is that if you have not cultivated to the late stage of Qi training, you are not allowed to go out to practice!"

"This rule must have been correct in the past. It was to protect the clansmen from harm, but its existence also seriously hindered the way for young family children to earn spirit stones. They can only live by receiving family welfare offerings!"

"But it's different now. Now there are a large number of high-ranking monks in the family, and the number of monks is increasing every year. We are no longer afraid of suffering losses!"

"I know that everyone wants to accumulate family contribution points to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills, but you can see for yourself, even if it is Eighth Uncle, he and the deceased Eighth Gu's combined contribution points are only more than 5,000 points. If you want to Through this method of slowly accumulating contribution points to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills, how long will it take to accumulate 20,000 contribution points?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you that I now have two Foundation Establishment Pills in my hand. After the Chen family refines the Foundation Establishment Pill in a few years, we can get one for free. There are two more!"

"These Foundation Establishment Pills are in my hands, what's the difference with stones? But if they are handed out, you are all members of my Zhou family, and many people have similar spiritual roots. Who should I give it to? Who should I give it to?" ?”

"So, the first thing I want to say today is that the rules that the family has enforced for two hundred years will change. In the future, the family will relax the restrictions on going out to experience adventures. As long as your cultivation has reached the middle stage of Qi training and you have a second Middle-grade magic weapon, you can apply with the family elders to go out and experience adventure!"

"What I want to tell you is that the world of cultivating immortals is cruel. If you want to build a foundation, if you want your offspring to be able to build a foundation, you have to go out and fight from a young age!"

"At the same time, I can promise you that even if you go out to explore and experience, even if you die, the family contribution points will still be given to your designated relatives to inherit. The contribution points are recycled!"

Zhou Yang expressed his thoughts and plans in one breath, feeling extremely happy in his heart.

This idea and plan came to him after he listened to Dong Jianping's life experience in the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou.

Dong Jianping also only has middle-grade spiritual root aptitude, but with a casual cultivator's body, relying on his daring character and superior luck, he was able to scrape together enough to buy the spiritual root of the Foundation Establishment Pill before the age of sixty. Stone, successfully built the foundation.

And in Zhenyue Immortal City and other six immortal cities standing in the Duanyun Mountains, there are tens of thousands of casual cultivators like Dong Jianping, struggling desperately to build a foundation.

Even these casual cultivators can do this, why can't the Zhou family's immortal cultivators?

The resources of the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation World are not as rich as those in Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation World, but the conditions possessed by the monks of the Zhou family are comparable to what Dong Jianping had when he first came into contact with cultivation?

Zhou Yang personally experienced the siege battle of the "beast tide", and after witnessing countless Qi training monks being harvested by monsters like rice in front of his eyes, he had a clear understanding.

Immortal cultivators who want to truly seek longevity and truly allow themselves to live longer than others in the future, first of all, they should have the courage not to be afraid of death!

If you are not the heir of a monk in the golden core period, don't think that a foundation establishment pill will fall from the sky for you to establish a foundation.

If you were born ordinary, with average spiritual root aptitude, and you want to seek longevity and build a foundation, then you have to work harder and be less afraid of death than those who are born with good backgrounds!

Zhou Yang wants the Zhou family to produce more foundation-building monks, and wants the Zhou family to become the Zifu family and Jindan family, but he absolutely does not want those foundation-building monks to hide in the family and rely on the shadows of their ancestors. The person who came to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Although, he himself built the foundation in this way before!

I want to explain that Zhou Yang has this idea, not because he is hypocritical, but because of changes in the environment. He had no choice before. It was extremely difficult for the Zhou family to obtain a foundation building pill. It is also very difficult to find a good seedling with good spiritual root qualifications, they can't afford to lose! But now there are many foundation building pills in the Zhou family, and there are many people who are suitable for taking them. If he still cultivates foundation building monks like he did before, how much help will the foundation building monks cultivate be for the future development of the family? For those who want to complain, don’t forget how much suffering Zhou Yang suffered after he established his foundation, and how many times he experienced dangers. Some of the hardships were all due to inexperience, and they were paid for hiding in the family and enjoying the shadow of his father’s generation. !
